Carrie Newcomer - A Light in the Window lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Looking out at the night, the only driver's wheel

Curving hips made of snow in the withered fields

There's a house up way back where the lamp light glows

Left a star out in the cold for the people I'll never know

(Chorus)

Who left the light, left the light in the window?

(Verse)

What would I change if the choice were mine?

I was doing the best I knew at the time

And every door and was opened and door that closed

All the things that made me glow, set me off down another road

(Chorus)

Out to look for a light, for a light in the window

(Bridge)

Now the old has already passed away

But the new is too new to be born today

So I'm throwing out seeds on the winter snow

As the cold wind begins to blow

Standing here on a new threshold

(Chorus)

I can see a warm dim light in the window

And the world is a little storm

And the world is a little close

And the world is a little light

And it's moving very fast

(Instrumental break)

(Bridge)

I pass from mystery to mystery, so I won't lie

I don't what happens when people die

But I hope that I see you walking slow

Smiling wide as the sunlight grows

Drop my map with a thousand folds

In the distance I see a glow

(Chorus)

There's a light, there' s a light, there's a light

In the window
